Hi Margie Bare with me, I am going to give you the long answer. lol On early records in Rowan Co I can verify my Charles Barier 1759 tax list..earliest record for the area. Also a George Henry Berger/Barrier (His land grant was written "Barrier") land grant 1761- see usgenweb Rowan Co deeds. George Henry had a brother John who later goes to Cabarrus Co,NC and descendants go by "Barrier". George H and John''s parents were Michael & Catherine Bearyer (this connection has been verified in deeds). Now to the Barrier of Ky. There is also an early record of Abraham Barrier noted in Rowan Co, records Abraham was said to be married to Elizabeth Reynolds An Abraham can be found holding the survey chains for George Henry's land grant and Abraham can be found on a 1759 militia list along with my Charles Barrier. Both are named "Barriger" on the militia list. I have found no DIRECT connection between Abraham, Charles or brothers George Henry/John to Charles or Abraham, although I highly suspect they are all related. In addition, there is an early record of a Phillip Berger/Barrier who dies young and George Henry pays taxes on land for Phillips "orphans. Also, a Jacob Berger/Barrier who disappears off the records and it is said he removed to TN. Abraham can be found obtaining land in Burke Co and then in Spartanberg SC and by 1810 you can find him on the census in Ky. Abraham is said to have a son Richard b 4 Feb 1768 d 1 July 1854 bur Baker Cem, Concord, Ky who was a minister in Wayne Co Ky. Richard married Catherine Massey 20 Aug 1789 in Lincoln Co, NC. Catherine was the daughter of Nicholas Massey. Richard's son Aaron b 14 Feb 1798 in Pulaski Co, KY d 1890 married Susan Chrisman. Aaron and Susan were said to be the parents of Elijah C who married Frances Jane Tuttle b 1835 Ky and died 1918 in Pottawattamie Co, Iowa, Minden,, Iowa Cem Please verify this information as it has all been passed on to me and I only have verified up to Abraham on the 1810 census. Family lore says Abraham moved on to Alabama with another son Martin and he died abt 1835 in Jackson co Ala. I have not been able to verify that information.
